Who we are and what these terms cover
These terms cover your use of henricksoutdoors.com ("Henricks Outdoors", "we", "us"), including Trail Mix games, tools, printables, and the Field Dispatch email list. The site is run by [Owner: the legal entity name. The site footer says "Henricks Media, LLC"; confirm].
By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.
Using the site
- Everything here is free to read and use for your own personal, non-commercial purposes.
- Printables are free to print for personal use, like at home, in a classroom, or on a family trip.
- Please don't copy large parts of the site, republish our guides, photos or puzzles, or collect the site's content with automated tools, without our written permission.
- Please don't try to break, overload, or get around the protections on the site or the Field Dispatch service.
Outdoor safety
Weather, water, wildlife, fire, trails, rules and permits change, sometimes quickly. Our guides, tools and games are for general information and planning:
- Tools give estimates, not guarantees. A tool that estimates hiking time or daylight can't see the conditions where you are.
- Weather comes from the National Weather Service. Always check the official forecast and any alerts before you go.
- Rules, fees and permits come from the agencies that set them. Check with them for the current rules.
- Nothing on this site is medical, legal, or professional safety advice.
You're responsible for your own decisions and safety outdoors, and for the people in your care.
